My tour guide, Wael, was extremely thoughtful and thorough in his explanations of everything. He’s keen to point out anything that foreigners visiting Egypt may miss and he knows everything there is to know about all of the sites in Egypt. His knowledge, sincereness, and hospitality is what I would look for in any tour guide and I hope to book more tours in the future.

The best tour we have been on as a family. Hassan, our driver, was very friendly and the Vehicle was clean and air-conditioned with complementary water. Summer was an excellent tour guide, we cannot recommend her enough - very knowledgable and went above and beyond to take photos and recommend other activities for our holiday. We did the full giza pyramids tour and saqqara. The lunch was delicious and good for vegetarians too. Camel ride and inside tours of the pyramids were unforgettable experiences. We will be recommending this tour to friends, family and anyone who wants to go to egypt for the pyramids. Thank you again!

After sifting through tons of reviews, we hit the jackpot with our choice. Our tour guide, Summer, was an absolute blast – fun, incredible, super helpful, knowledgeable, and super flexible with her suggestions and time. From the smooth pick-up at our New Cairo Airbnb to the very end, everything was a dream. Our driver was super cool too! We saw everything on our list and then some. The food? Mouthwatering! And the air-conditioned van? A lifesaver in this heat! Trust me, for amazing pics and an unforgettable adventure, you *must* ask for Summer!

Wael is an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. The Saqqara pyramids are a must to visit. Wael answered all out questions and made great suggestions to visit not that touristic spots. He also takes great pictures.
